We're talking faith here, dear reader(s). Personally, I reckon you should believe in me and my financial shamanism, but I know that some of you weird ones like to believe in God. 'Ha! It's their funeral, boss.' Exactly!
Consultancies Deloitte and EY have been shortlisted for a ComRes Belief At Work Award, nominated by their employees.
So, what's this then?
The new awards scheme celebrating excellence in employer relations relating to religion and belief gathers evidence based on the experiences of colleagues within the organization, to assess whether and how the organization has developed a workplace culture where people of all faiths and none can thrive.
You'll notice they don't mention financial shamanism, rock and roll shamanism, or any type of shamanism. 'Boss, give them a chance, for crying out loud!' All right, Voice, all right. I'll give them a chance.
"We have received some inspiring nominations from people feeling very supported in the workplace, and able to bring their whole selves to work," says Katie Harrison, Director of ComRes Faith Research Centre. "It is hugely encouraging to hear of the ways employers are listening well to their colleagues, and the hugely positive effect this has on motivation and confidence."
Well, there's nothing worse than bringing half of yourself to work. 'Ha!' What? 'I come to work here every day on your blog as a disembodied voice. That's all, man. Just a voice! How would they like them apples?' Shut up, you idiot!
"There is a common consensus that people's experience at work comes down to two things: the organizational culture modelled by leaders, and the direct rapport with a line manager," says Katie Harrison. "Where employers are sending helpful messages around the whole of the organization by making provision, naming expectations and modelling good listening, an overall culture becomes established. And when someone feels heard and understood by their line manager, they feel able to bring their whole self to work and their experience of the workplace is much richer."
Yeah, right. Still no mention of financial shamanism. I've had readers of this blog, followers of mine, complain that no one at work understands their need to get lost in one of my shamanistic conceptual posts. 'And the desert.' What? 'The old days, boss. It used to be bloody difficult for your followers to get time off for the desert, astral and physical.' Oh, of course. The physical desert was the hardest. 'Obviously.' Yeah. / Anyway, let's hear from Emma Codd. She probably has something she wants to say about financial shamanism ...
Emma Codd, Managing Partner for Talent, Deloitte UK, said: "I am delighted and very proud that Deloitte has been shortlisted for this award by ComRes. Having an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with respect and is recognized for the value they can bring is very important to us, and ensuring that people of all faiths and none are able to fully be themselves and can thrive both personally and professionally is a key part of creating that environment."
Unbelievable! 'Boss, what do you expect?' Er, some acknowledgement of the importance of financial shamans in the financial workplace! Yeah? 'Yeah, she's not going to come out and say something like that, is she?' Okay, okay.
Okay. Well, that's enough of that.
...
Anything else? Brexit? FFS! Listen, I don't discuss that shit, reader(s). However, I'll just say ... imagine the referendum result last year if the Leave side promised that we would leave the single market and the customs union and not get a trade deal with the EU! 'Or anyone else, boss.' Ha! Yeah, or anyone else, Voice. There are no trade deals on the horizon at all at the moment because every other country wants to see what our relationship with the EU will be. It's a joke, man!
Laters.
